The Wizards have a good mix of young pllayers and veterans now so I feel they will be better than they have been the past couple of years. They're probably still a little ways off from being a team that will contend, but I think it depends on Beal and Crawford elevating their game because they're two talented guards that can do some of everything.

I assume that Wall will eventually be looking for a long-term deal and lots of money depending on his improvements. We'll be able to tell in maybe another 2 or 3 years if Wall wants to stay a Wizard or try to win a championship elsewhere.

A solid deep threat in college, Ross has NBA three-point range and a smooth stroke with a high release. Casey had specifically requested that the Raptors add more shooters this summer. Unfortunately for Ross, Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo honored Casey’s request in spades. The Raptors added several players who can knock down threes including Kyle Lowry, John Lucas III and Landry Fields

We start at the top, his basic stats that everyone understands. No, not his 13.5 points per game and his 28.6 percent shooting in the preseason. Preseason action is not a particularly good gauge for veteran players.

if he can find his rookie shooting form. Add in the return of three-point shooting wing Alan Anderson and the likelihood of sharpshooter Jose Calderon finding additional minutes in a two point guard lineup, and Ross’ opportunities to use his skill were under threat from day one. This Raptors’ training camp and preseason has been very competitive.
